Have you ever pondered the 'what ifs?' in life? "What if I went to a four year university first instead of a community college?" "What if I had siblings?" "What if I had remained friends with that person?" "What if I had been involved in youth group as a teenager?" "What if I knew back then … Continue reading What If…?

Bananas for Brownies! [foodie friday]
A few weeks ago I made brownies on a whim when my mom said she wanted them. I've never baked from scratch, so I obviously used a mix and it was the Chocolate Fudge Pillsbury mix. Let me say, they were amazing! Just last weekend, my mom had the urge to bake so once again … Continue reading Bananas for Brownies! [foodie friday]
empty words. – reblog from Young & Twenty
I love this post from Young & Twenty because she makes great point. How many conversations do we have throughout the week that are nothing more than, "Hey, what's up?" to which we reply, "Not much, you?" I hate to admit that I've had plenty of these empty conversations. As humans, we're meant to form … Continue reading empty words. – reblog from Young & Twenty
Working In a Group
Earlier this semester I was teamed up with two classmates for our first assignment in our video production class and as it turns out, they would be my partners for the rest of the projects we had to do this semester. We all mesh together perfectly and we don't have to fight for a certain … Continue reading Working In a Group
My 214th Chance at Life
That's a lot of chances at life, isn't it? In fact, I almost titled this 'My Second Chance at Life' which would be accurate depending on how you look at it. However, the way I see it, each day I wake up is another chance at life. Heck, each second that I'm alive is another … Continue reading My 214th Chance at Life
Catching Up on The Hunger Games
A few weeks ago I was surfing through Netflix and found that they had finally added Catching Fire to their online library. I was psyched. I hadn't been able to see Catching Fire last year when it hit the theaters and after it came out on DVD, well, I didn't really want to spend the money … Continue reading Catching Up on The Hunger Games

7 Things I’m Thankful For
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As most people do, I associate this holiday with the abundance of food my family and I are about to eat and feeling stuffed silly for the next few days. However, since we call this holiday Thanksgiving, I just want to publicly list a few of the many things I am thankful … Continue reading 7 Things I’m Thankful For
Thankfully Content
"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?'" - Hebrews 13:5-6 I just read this … Continue reading Thankfully Content
True Colors
As children we grow up blind to those around us; who they really are. We see the good in people, not because we refuse to see the bad, but rather that's the only side we ever see. As we grow, we learn that's not the case. We learn the reality that blood is not always … Continue reading True Colors
Give It Another Try
First impressions are important, but they only go so deep. You can't really know if you'll like a person just by talking to them one time; you think you can, but in reality, you just can't. You need to talk to them a second time at least. The same goes with food, movies, music, etc. … Continue reading Give It Another Try
Education: They’re Doing It Wrong
"You can't judge a fish based on its ability to climb a tree." Ever heard of that? Well, it's the same with education. Someone who is good in math might not be as good in science or history (and I may or may not be talking about myself here...). The reason is not because … Continue reading Education: They’re Doing It Wrong
Taste of Winter
"Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful And since we got no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" Admit it, you sang that. I'm going to be honest though, I have a rocky relationship with snow. I like it and I don't like it, but … Continue reading Taste of Winter
